Kalamota Beach House

Un charmant petit appart'hôtel avec un délicieux petit-déjeuner et des canoës pour partir en mer. Un service client excellent ! Nous avons été pris en charge dès notre arrivée. Nous avons même eu droit à presque une journée gratuite car notre vol partait très tard, mais nous avons pu rester dans notre chambre jusqu'au soir. L'île était magnifique et bien plus agréable que celle de Lokrum, par exemple. De superbes sentiers de randonnée et de marche. De magnifiques couchers de soleil de l'autre côté de l'île. Seul bémol : les nombreux touristes anglophones qui semblaient être les maîtres des lieux. Ils s'emparaient des lits de repos dès le matin et y laissaient leurs affaires, même s'ils étaient parfois absents pendant plusieurs heures et jouaient bruyamment dans la piscine sur le toit, ignorant totalement les autres nageurs. C'est pourquoi notre expérience n'a pas été couronnée de succès.

I so wanted to give this hotel 5 stars as this is an immaculate and special island hotel, beautiful location, the rooftop pool, the weather, the friendly staff and activities locally and all that was indeed fab, but, the food here let it down a little for us (a family of 4 with two tweens) staying 10 nights. Breakfast (that was included) was fine (with eggs to order but missing family faves that I would have expected like eg french toast) but it was lunch and dinner that was lacking. The hotel aims for fine dining which is not what you want every night for a family. And it wasn’t nice enough to be truly fine dining if that’s what you did want. The restaurant was quite often empty showing they don’t have it quite right. There is a kids menu but there are 4 choices, pizza being one which is dependent on the boat bringing the supply which it regularly didn’t. For lunch we genuinely struggled to be able to order anything that we liked which was really disappointing for us. The rooms do have a small kitchen to help solve the food issue. Dishwasher was a welcome luxury! And microwave and hob. But where to buy your ingredients! There is a tiny shop on the “Tui” side of the island - a doable 15-20 min walk or hotel buggy ride (for E20 charge tho). But it’s “entrepreneurial” prices and very limited fresh produce. The only real choice is Dubrovnik. The ferry from the island (either the early morning ferry from the hotel bay or the later ferries from the TUI bay) take you to Gruz port in Dubrovnik in about 30 mins. Just outside the harbour is a large supermarket. Strongly advise buy all you can carry to stock up and which allowed us to cook meals and snacks without breaking the bank. But it is an effort! Otherwise there is a restaurant opposite the hotel but it’s limited, simple but fresh and mainly fish. Not cheap and cash only! Also a nice cafe restaurant on the TUI side for a change of scene. We did have a wonderful time and we truly loved exploring the island and Dubrovnik. We felt very looked after and the staff were so welcoming. Our favourite activity was a quad safari - booked through TripAdvisor - at Kojan Koral - which is a simply epic and we all agreed our best day ever!

Myself and a group of friends had the most incredible time at this wonderful hotel. The staff couldn’t have been more kind, helpful and accommodating- nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were great for our group and the food, views and general vibe were perfect. It’s a tiny unspoilt island so we moved around by boat to Dubrovnik and some other islands. We can’t wait to go back!

We stayed for 2 weeks from May 20th 2025. This place is just wonderful, peaceful & and relaxing.. all the staff from reception, the restaurant, the kitchen & the cleaning, cannot do enough for you, without doubt it’s the best place we have ever stayed in for being relaxed & chilled.. You’re made to feel appreciated by everyone.. you will not be disappointed. Everything is a 10!

A wonderful small hotel staffed by amazing people. Valentina & Mario were terrific, as was literally everyone else who works there. On-site restaurant serves delicious meals. (And this will sound silly but I had some of the best fried eggs ever for breakfast.) Highly recommend the Kalamota Beach house.

Even before we came we were excited about it, but turning up on the dock and it surpassed expectations. The views are incredible, all the staff are genuine and helpful,they made our stay very memorable. We ate at the restaurant every night and the food was delicious. We used the private transfer boat twice which is a great addition as the ferry is set times. We even did a private tour of the island by boat which I highly recommend. Would absolutely recommend; and if doing so I’d also recommend stopping at one of the supermarkets before transferring over to get some food / drinks for the room.
